Cons: It took a bit more poking around than I thought it would to get it to work.

I'm not a particularly sophisticated Mac user, and it took some poking around to be able to select the network connection I wanted. The instructions were not as detailed in the right places as they should have been, and the settings listed in the instructions did not match up to what I saw on my computer. But it ultimately works, so I can't complain too much.

Works with my Lenovo N20P Chromebook

Pros: Price, works with Chrome OS (at least on my Lenovo N20P)

Cons: Awkward to have it hanging out the USB port of a laptop. It could break the USB port jack on the computer if not carefully handled.

I was concerned that Google's Chrome OS was not listed in the specs. However, the price was low and I took the chance that it would work. It worked without a problem, and I'm writing this review using wired home Ethernet through the adapter plugged into my USB 2.0 port.

This thing is very handy, now that MacBooks don't seem to come with Ethernet plugs anymore. For comparison, Apple's official Thunderbolt = Ethernet doohickey runs about $30. So absolutely no complaints from this quarter.

DOA

Pros: None

Cons: It does not work.

I bought this adapter because I wanted to test my internet speed using my MacBook. I could not get it to work my MacBook does not recognize it. I have tried many times to contact customer service and even responded to surveys complaining that I needed assistance but no one responded. I'm sure it may be an easy fix but until someone, anyone, responds to help me, this adapter gets a 1.

by Monoprice AdministratorHello Handles,

Thank you for your review and truly sorry to hear about the issues experienced with PID 6150. If I may ask, can we try installing the latest drivers found at the following link?:

http://www.asix.com.tw/download.php?sub=driverdetail&PItemID=97

Please restart the Mac after the drivers have fully installed. Should that not work, which version of OS X is running? Can we try the adapter on a different USB port to see if the issue persists? What about with another computer if possible to further isolate what the issue may be? Please let me know your results so we can look into this matter further. My apologies for any inconvenience and I hope this helps!

Regards, Gabby VillaTech Support Associate

Works with tablet, but not with phone

Pros: This works great with my Nvidia Shield tablet running Android 5.0.1. Connects immediately with great functionality.

Cons: Is not recognized by my HTC One M8 at all (running Android 4.4.2).

I bought this for use with my Android tablet and cell phone, unfortunately this only works with my tablet. I'm not sure if this is because of the differing versions of Android or the different hardware.

by Monoprice AdministratorHello,

Thank you for your review and truly sorry to hear about the issues experienced with PID 6150. If I may ask, does anything pop up at all when the adapter is plugged into the phone or does it say that it is an unrecognized device? Do you happen to have another OTG cable we could try? Can we update the phone to see if the issue persists? Please let me know your results so we can look into this matter further. Thank you in advance!

by AnonymousGabrielle,

Thanks for the quick response. To answer your questions:

1. The ethernet icon does not show up when connecting the adapter to my phone. I only get the exclamation point in a triangle icon stating that my phone is in host mode which is displayed whenever I connect the USB OTG cable.2. The USB OTG cable that I purchased from Monoprice works perfectly with the phone. I can access USB storage and input peripherals without any issues. 3. I can't update the phone because the android updates are controlled by HTC on this device.

Any ideas would be welcome. I am considering trying another adapter, if you think that might work, let me know.

Thanks,Jason

by Monoprice AdministratorHi Jason,

I see, thank you for providing the additional info! Unfortunately at this point it appears to be a compatibility issue between the adapter and HTC One M8. I would be unable to recommend a different adapter as we have not tested them with this type of setup specifically, I am sorry to say. Additionally, I have not found any feedback from customers stating that they have used any of our adapters with that phone. My apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused you. If you no longer had a use for this adapter, I can assist you in setting up an RMA for a refund. Just let me know if you would like to proceed and I can get that started right away. Thank you!
